Export a GIF

GIFs are small, silent and loop forever.

Make one

1. Set an in point with I and an out point with O around the part you want.
2. Press CmdCtrl+E and choose GIF.
3. Export.

What to expect

The GIF preset makes a file 480 pixels wide at 15 frames a second, with a colour palette chosen for your footage so it looks as good as the format allows.

Keep it small

GIF files get large quickly. Short is better. A few seconds is plenty. If the file is too large, shorten the part you export.

No sound

GIFs have no audio. If you need sound, export a video instead.
